Beautiful lodge in the middle of a park , 1 minute walk to beach. Overall very clean and very high class linen and towels. Felt very private and secluded. Gardens are very well maintained and spacious to relaxdine outside. Kitchen is large and very well equipped. Good selection of games / dvds and books. Lodge felt very spacious even with 8 people. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely property and location. The IOW is a wonderful place to get away with great views and beaches in addition to pubs and places to eat.

Middle Lodge is a great getaway for a group or large family. Its really lived up to the description in every way and was very well supplied with everything that you could need to have a great stay. It's cosy, clean, tucked away and exactly what we were looking for a late Autumn getaway. We stayed there with friends for 4 nights and loved the place so much that we changed our plans so that we stayed in 2 nights as it was so lovely. Although the weather wasn't our friend I can imagine it would be great in the Summer too with outdoor seating in the lovely gardens for 8-10. It's location at the edge of Appley park is a bonus too. The red Squirrel as your neighbor is an extra perk. As good was the Island Holiday Company who we booked it through. They were brilliant throughout the process and even sorted our Ferry for us. I know the property features on a number of sites but I would really recommend using this local company. The website is easy as is the communication with them.

This is our second stay in Middle Lodge. It’s perfect for our annual family get together. The property from the outside & the gardens have the wow factor and it has everything you need for a comfortable stay inside. Beds are very comfortable and linen is spotlessly clean. There’s plenty of room so groups can split off & do their own thing. The play room, puzzles, books & dvds are a great addition in case of bad weather. Location is fabulous, tucked away from the main road but walking distance to the beach & local shops. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a larger property for a stay on the Island.

Great property, right next to the beach, with some great food options near by… would recommend for families and small groups. Customer service from the island holiday company was great as well. Very helpful

Middle Lodge is a perfect location for stunning Appley beach, being only a short walk along a lane. The kitchen was a well equipped, the house is generally comfortable, comfy beds and fluffy towels. The stairs are very steep and so this is for the nimble only!

We stayed at Middle Lodge for a week. Two adults with a group of 17 year old boys. The proximity to the sandy beach of Ryde and the grass fields were important. The boys could do their own thing and walk into Ryde town for further entertainment. The house was so well done up, clean and welcoming. I would only make two very small comments - a) the downstairs loo button got stuck each time the loo was flushed and needed a good wiggle to stop the water running, and b) a chair in each bedroom to put clothes on would have been appreciated. We will definitely stay at this property again. We come every year to the IOW and this was the best property yet. Best wishes and thanks, Rosie

A lovely house in an excellent location with very little that could be done to improve it further - except perhaps remove the shutters downstairs which tend to make the rooms darker than they should be - but that is I suppose a matter of individual taste.
